Crockpot Apples and Pork

Everyone in my family will tell you: I hate cooked fruit. It is true I do, but I like the flavor of apples with pork. So, if you are lucky enough to come eat this with me, YOU get all the apple goodness!
To start I gather up my honey, cinnamon, apple (fresh from the orchard), rosemary, parsnips and crockpot.
Really, that is it. I will add a splash of water just in case because dry pork is disgusting.

First cut up an apple and put about two slices in slits in the pork. Put the rest on the bottom of the crockpot. Last minute I added a parsnip. I saw them in Trader Joes this weekend and bought them mainly on the premise that it is fun to say “parsnip”.

Next I poured honey over it and cinnamon. I love cinnamon so poured is more accurate than sprinkled.

Now it is ready to cook on low for 8 hours. And because I constantly just throw things into recipes, I added a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar when I splashed in a touch of water.

Now I wait.

A few hours in, it is looking good and smells amazing!

Added a pinch of rosemary. Can’t wait!

It is done!

I love this dish!! Even with not eating the apples, the parsnips and pork are AMAZING. They are flavorful and taste like fall! Yum!
